An application filed with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning calls for six townhome-style units on a vacant lot at 1420 South Point View Street. The project site was previously floated for a five-story, 23-unit apartment building.
Why it matters
The filing reflects a wave of small-scale townhome proposals across Los Angeles as the city works to meet a state housing target of 456,643 units through 2029. Smaller multi-unit projects like this one can add housing without the scale of larger apartment buildings.
Each proposed three-story residence would have three bedrooms and a two-car garage, according to the application. Tracy A. Stone Architect is designing the units, and the property owner is listed as 1420 South Point View Street LLC.
